TVI Essential · Consensus

Sátántangó scores 186/200 on the TVI IQ Score, Masterclass tier. Béla Tarr's 7-hour Hungarian masterpiece, adapted from Krasznahorkai's novel.

The TVI Take

Béla Tarr's 7-hour Hungarian masterpiece, adapted from Krasznahorkai's novel. A failing collective farm, a dead-eyed swindler, and the slowest, most patient study of political despair in cinema.

One of the most singular endurance experiences the medium offers.
